Product Description
The RJ Tactical 3.0 is a premier collaboration between award-winning custom knifemaker RJ Martin and Kershaw’s precision blade engineers. Designed to deliver high-end tactical styling at an accessible price point, this folder features Martin’s signature aesthetic—a versatile drop point blade with aggressive top and bottom grinds and a comfortably contoured handle. Its compact 3-inch blade folds into a 4-inch handle, making it the "right-sized" tactical knife for the jobsite, the great outdoors, or professional office carry.
Built for performance and protection, the blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and finished with a non-reflective black-oxide coating. This combination ensures excellent edge-holding capability and added corrosion resistance for hard-use environments. The handle is made from lightweight, glass-filled nylon (GFN), featuring deep contours to provide a solid, ergonomic grip during heavy-duty cutting. With Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the RJ Tactical 3.0 deploys with lightning speed via the built-in flipper, ensuring you are always ready for the task at hand.
